Question

The questions is, how to make a WikiWord in current topic be linked only once? (automatically) 

The logic would be like:

If

“any WikiWord in current topic presents more than once”

Then

“keep only the 1st occurrence of that WikiWord be linked in current topic”

I understand I can use "<noautolink>" tag, but if the WikiWord is mentioned many times in one topic, the manual coding will need much effort...

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

This could be done with a plugin:

• At rendering time, build up a hash of all WikiWords on a page
• Escape the WikiWord if the word already exists in the hash
